B Correct answer
Explanation

Al Gore did not invent the internet. This is a persistent urban legend that misrepresents a statement Gore made about 'taking the initiative in creating the internet' through legislative support. The internet's development involved many researchers over decades, including Vint Cerf, Bob Kahn, and others who developed TCP/IP. Gore's actual contribution was supporting legislation that funded internet development.
